Chapter 15 Overtime Production



As the groundbreaking ceremony ended, the cans of syrup produced in trial production a few days ago were sold out in an instant.

Ma Bin urgently arranged for the purchase of raw materials, and Zhang Xuetong gradually mastered the production technology and personnel management. Sun Zongyuan basically had nothing to do with production scheduling. The 20,000 yuan in the finances was enough for production for ten days or so. If it was not enough, he would owe it first and wait for the canned goods to be sold and the money would be returned before redeeming it. The fruit farmers sold the fruit at their doorsteps without any bargaining. It was just a matter of waiting for a few days.

Two days later, three salesmen came back to report on their progress. One signed a contract for 10 tons of canned goods, another for 12 tons, and the third salesman named Zhao Shuyong, who had a relative from Northeast China, actually signed a contract for 50 tons and raised the price by 5 cents. Sun Zongyuan was shocked on the spot and took out another 1 cent as a reward from the 5 cents. Zhao Shuyong received a reward of 1,200 yuan for one order, which made the two salesmen jealous. However, the reward would not be paid until the money was collected. Zhao Shuyong promised to follow up on this big order and ensure that there would be no problems.

All three orders required the goods to be delivered within a week, so the entire factory staff was working at full capacity, working overtime, and each department also took turns on duty to strengthen supervision of production and resolutely prevent the problem of rushing to finish the work without cleaning the mud.

During this period, Ma Bin invited the power supply station staff to inspect all the power lines again. He treated them to delicious food and drinks in the evening, and gave each of them a box of canned food before leaving. The station director patted his chest and repeatedly stated: "No one can cut off the power to the food factory. If the power needs to be cut off, even if it means cutting off the power to the Party Committee, we cannot cut off the power to the food factory."

Sun Zongyuan was very satisfied after hearing this.

The power supply system in later generations is an electricity tiger. If you are unhappy, the power outage will be cut off at any time. You can be fired for any reason, leaving enterprises in tears!

Three more sales staff were added from the connections after passing the assessment, and the sales area was re-divided among the six people. Unexpectedly, Zhao Shuyong wanted to contract the three northeastern provinces. It happened that the five people were afraid of the cold and didn't want to go to the Northeast, so it turned out to be a good deal for Zhao Shuyong. That was a paradise for canned food sales, but now they don't know it.

There have been orders every day recently, with an average of more than 30 tons of orders per day, which has caused the cannery to be unable to handle the workload in one shift. There was no other way, so Sun Zongyu reported to Secretary Li Jianguo and specially arranged for village cadres to allocate recruitment quotas according to the population.

At this time, the land was distributed to each household, and there was a lot of idle labor in the village during the slack season.

These village cadres must have some good friends they are close to, and they carefully consider the allocated quotas and say hello to the ones they like. In the evening, most of the village cadres' homes receive several cartons of cigarettes and rare items.

One hundred people were recruited. After being taught and evaluated by senior employees, these 150 people were divided into three shifts, each shift lasting eight hours. The output of canned food increased to 30 tons per day. Every day, long queues of trucks supplying and transporting goods entered the factory, which was a spectacular sight for outsiders.

Sun Zongyu called and urged the provincial light industry machinery factory to deliver four sets of equipment. Fortunately, the original factory building was large enough to store six sets of equipment and there was still some space left, both for the raw material warehouse and the finished product warehouse, which were vacated after the turnover.

Secretary Li Jianguo was also asked to recruit 100 workers. The village secretaries showed great respect for Secretary Li Jianguo. All other tasks assigned by the Party Committee were completed quickly and successfully.

In the past, it was just a matter of pushing and turning, or sometimes it was not pushed at all. The methods of dispatching, on-site meetings, and notifications were not effective, which made the leaders very angry with some village cadres and wanted to replace them. Some leaders were so angry that they wanted to kill the old man.

Today, Honghua Township is a place of good governance and harmony among the people. In this township of 26,000 people, about 800 people work in factories, engage in freight or sell fruit to food factories. Some people wholesale canned goods from food factories and sell them from door to door on bicycles. They sell each can for 80 cents and earn 7 or 8 yuan by selling two boxes a day. In the evening, they go home to have a drink and get drunk at their wives. They feel like they are no better than gods.

Some of the brave ones would spend two or three thousand yuan to buy a tricycle, and transport 40 boxes of canned food to other counties every day, earning 50 yuan a day. So the couple would secretly drive to other places. The farther the place, the higher the price and the easier it is to sell.

The result was that the motorized tricycles that the Ganhe City Agricultural Machinery Company had stored for a year and had not sold many of them were sold out in less than a month.

The agricultural machinery company took great effort to find out the cause and urgently dispatched a batch of tricycles.

There are more people and more cars, and people have more money in their pockets. They eat, drink, and talk business more often, and consume more materials. Honghua Township has recently added four or five small hotels, three small shops, and even a small inn, although it only has four rooms and ten beds in total.

Sun Zongyuan called a small meeting with Ma Bin and Zhang Xuetong.

"Ma Bin, I've reported to the township. We've rented all of the 100 mu (approximately 100 mu) of land surrounding our factory. The factory area is about 40,000 square meters. It's a bit run-down, but after some renovations, it could still be used as a cannery. Tomorrow, I'll have Yang Zhenwu's construction team renovate the factory like they did last time and clean up the garbage. I'll also recruit a few veterans to form a security department. They'll be responsible for ensuring safety and security day and night, and any disputes will be handled more easily."

"The annual rent is 50,000 yuan, and the finance department needs to settle it with the township finance department in advance. We have money now, so don't give Secretary Li any more trouble."

"Okay, the factory has expanded. How should we arrange its use?" Ma Bin asked.

"My idea is to continue expanding production and strive to have 20 production lines during the May Day holiday next year, with an annual output of 40,000 tons. We will try to install four production lines next month and 12 by the end of the year. If our own funds are insufficient, we can apply for a bank loan of 300,000 yuan. With such a strong production order, the bank will actively support us."
